“Professor Roget, of Geneva, was invited by the Chadwick trustees to form one of their panel of lectures. The subject which he treats in the three lectures which he delivered for the Trust in 1914, and which are contained in this volume, has become, since the development of aviation, one of increasing importance; but the professor, though he does not ignore aviation, explores with great care and fullness the effect of altitude upon health and physique mainly from the point of view of the Alpine pedestrian climber and resident.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup
“The information contained in this book regarding climate appears on the whole to be accurate and reasonably complete. So much cannot be said regarding matters physiological. Whether on account of war prejudice or other cause a large mass of valuable German work is passed over almost in silence and even in the selections from English and American investigators the most important modern contribution is merely mentioned.” Yandell Henderson

“If, as undoubtedly is the case, there are still many people who dread the effects of unmitigated fresh air, and especially that of mountain resorts, these lectures should help to convert them to saner views.”
